GEISS (rhymes with nice) is audio-driven eye candy for your computer. It comes as both
a Windows Screensaver and as a music visualization plug-in for the Winamp music player.
It takes you on a surreal, visual journey through the
sonic landscape of your music. The sound can be from an audio CD or a live source
(for the screensaver), or from an MP3 file or live source (if using the Winamp plugin - see instructions below for live sourcing).

Geiss is one of the premier music visualization plug-ins, with over 4.6 million downloads from Winamp.com alone.

The latest version of Geiss is 4.29, released June 20, 2009. -- now supporting crispy high resolutions! --

New features in version 4.28
Geiss is back and more beautiful than ever, in glistening new HIGH RESOLUTIONS -- and with support for Multiple Monitors!

Previously, the resolution was limited to 800x600; now,
both plugin and screensaver support unlimited resolutions. Also, because CPUs are so
much faster these days, they've been revamped a little bit to look correct at framerates
above 30 frames per second. Many users should now see framerates of 60 fps, even running at HD resolutions.

Using Geiss for live events
You can drive any Winamp plug-in via a live (external) audio source - just hit
CTRL+L (open location) and type in "linein://" (minus the quotes). Whatever is coming into your computer (via line-in, microphone, etc.)
will show up in the visualizer. If it doesn't seem to be working, hit Windows+R and type in "sndvol32 /r" (minus the quotes), to configure your system's audio capture, and make sure
the proper sound input device is turned on and the volume is in the 50-80% range.
